It's simply not cost effective to use million dollar missiles to intercept cheap drones.

And yet they keep doing it! shrug-outta-hecks Economic collapse of US military when?

I imagine the bigger problem is going to be lack of industrial capacity. Most of the supplies come from existing stocks, but once those run dry there's gonna be a problem because US can't produce missiles at the rate drones are produced.
